I am the Culinary Medicine Chef for MaxLove Project - teaching cooking classes for cancer survivor families and developing recipes and other culinary content for several platforms. 

I am a compliant type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at an early age - successfully managing my disease through healthy food choices and active lifestyle. As a champion for my own personal wellness needs, organically I have gravitated to professional roles where I can thrive at the intersection of food, education and wellness. I believe in growing our own food, choosing local food producers and the holistic concept of foods as medicine.
